In general, would like the formatting of a time interval in column mode
to respect "org-effort-durations" when it is summarizing effort
durations. Below is a specific example.

Using the default "org-effort-durations" variable and default column
mode settings, the following buffer shows a confusing total:

| Task            | Estimate |
|-----------------+----------|
| * Estimate      |  1d 8:00 |
| ** Little Thing |       1d |
| ** Big Mess     |       3d |


vvv effort_days.org vvv

#+COLUMNS: %40ITEM(Task) %12Effort(Estimate){:}

* Estimate

** Little Thing
   :PROPERTIES:
   :Effort:   1d
   :END:

** Big Mess
   :PROPERTIES:
   :Effort:   3d
   :END:

^^^ effort_days.org ^^^

The mis-match is due to "Effort" days being an 8-hour workday, whereas
the Column-view day is a 24-hour calendar day. I would like all the days
to be 8-hour work days, including the total, resulting in:

| Task            | Estimate |
|-----------------+----------|
| * Estimate      |       4d |
| ** Little Thing |       1d |
| ** Big Mess     |       3d |

You can modify the "d" entry in `org-effort-durations' so it becomes
1440 minutes instead of 480. You may also want to modify "m" and "y".
